A member asked:

For md: does reflux/gastritis have any effect on bile production? does reflux/gastritis increase bile production? what causes itching during reflux?

Where do you itch?: Acid reflux or bile reflux have no connection with itching Bile salts are blamed for itching only if their blood levels are high which can happen with liver diseases. Get your liver functions tested if itching is the major issue with you.

No: But bile reflux can occur in some people and thus causing symptoms which would not respond to anti-acid Rx. Although excessive bile retention may cause itching, most itching is not caused by this condition. If you are asking this type of question, you are ready for a gastroenterologist consult.
